Results:
Over half (53%) of this sample had moderate or greater hepatic
siderosis, 80% had pancreatic siderosis, and nearly half (45%) had
pituitary siderosis and/or volume loss. Pancreatic iron was associated
with both cardiac (p=0.0043) and pituitary iron (p=0.0101). Patients
treated for acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk acute lymphoblastic
leukemia had higher liver iron concentration (LIC) compared to other
cancer types (median LIC 8.5 vs. 2.9 mg/g DLW, p=0.0011).
